At the urging of Piratess on my TOR profile wall, I’m tossing some thoughts into this post about two related areas: potions and food.
Both are ways that MMOs typically allow players to regain health, spell points, or generally buff some area of their stats.
But what place do they have in the Star Wars universe?
Do they have a place at all?
Are you cool with the concept of someone gulping down energy drinks to keep their health up whilst fighting a boss, or does the idea make you want to puke? Would you perhaps rather that combat was somehow different so that people didn’t have to do it?
And what about food? Do you like the idea that if someone has a full belly, they will fight better? Or a blueberry pie will suddenly make you see in the dark or somesuch? Or is that all a bit silly, too? There’s no right or wrong answers on this one. Simply debate.
